publishToSonatype not found

[t0yv0]

What happened?

One of our users was confused by this publishing error:

Task ‘publishToSonatype’ not found in root project ‘com.ovh.pulumi’ and its subprojects.”

This happens because the generated Gradle file has conditionals that turn off publishing unless the correct environment variables are setup, it currently reads like this:

if (publishRepoUsername) {
    nexusPublishing {
        repositories {
            sonatype {
                nexusUrl.set(uri(publishRepoURL + "/service/local/"))
                snapshotRepositoryUrl.set(uri(publishRepoURL + "/content/repositories/snapshots/"))
                username = publishRepoUsername
                password = publishRepoPassword
            }
        }
    }
}

if (signingKey) {
    signing {
        useInMemoryPgpKeys(signingKey, signingPassword)
        sign publishing.publications.mainPublication
    }
}

This is rather confusing. Perhaps we could fix this by introducing a pseudo-target in the else case to print out a message indicating that publishing requires environment variables to be set up.
